So this is working with D2? If that's the case then it's great news. 
I've also found two other guys who want to work on DWT2 so this is 
starting to look pretty promising. Are your fork windows only? Have you 
looked anything on the linux port? I'll try to have a look at your 
branch and see if I can merge it with the main branch.

I'm also thinking that we may need to organize our self a bit so we 
don't work on the same things.
